The Princeton Review has published the 2010 edition of The Best 172 Law Schools. The guide lists 11 ranking categories of the top 10 law schools in various categories. The lists are based on surveys of 18,000 students attending the 172 law schools profiled.
Following are some of the best institutions to earn a law school degree:
Georgia State University College of Law - It is one of the nation's most outstanding law schools and the only in Georgia with a top 10 ranking in the 2010 edition of "The Best 172 Law Schools". It is placed in the top 10 of "most chosen by older students".
University of Tennessee, Knoxville - The College of Law at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, is one of the nation’s best 172 law schools.
